Well, I have no say whatsoever about what's allowed on this list, any more than you have. And I certainly have nothing against suggestions based on experience. I was merely commenting on the increase in list noise in the last few days, about OSs, editors, frameworks, etc; this isn't really intended to be a personal criticism of you (or anyone else in particular) but I had a useful response to this question, so this was a good a place as any to comment. But you do have to admit, many times on this very list you've provided your feelings about Linux vs Windows; I seem to recall your self-description as a "Linux snob". And there's nothing wrong with that. I agree with you that for general server functionality, Linux is better than Windows, all other things being equal. But this list covers a pretty specific topic - CF - and a little evangelism about OT subjects goes a long way. A lot of people use Windows because they have to, or because they're more comfortable with it, or because that's what came on their shiny new Dell server, and "use Linux instead" is not an appropriate answer for the vast majority of questions on this list, in my opinion.
